A display device with low power consumption capable of canceling the collapse of gradation and skip of gradation in a high gradation part and a low gradation part and of displaying an even gradation in a wide range has been disclosed. The display device comprises a display element of dot matrix type having a display material with memory properties, a drive circuit that drives a pixel of the display element, and a control circuit that controls the drive circuit, wherein the control circuit executes an initialization step for applying a voltage pulse to initialize a pixel to be rewritten to bring the pixel into an initialization state and a gradation step for applying a voltage pulse to change the gradation state of a pixel, and in the gradation step, an alternating voltage pulse is formed in a pixel to be rewritten and the period and voltage of the alternating voltage pulse are varied in accordance with a gradation to be written.
